FUMES DISCHARGE
(only intended for personnel qualified to assemble the hood)
The hood supplied with an 800 m
operating: refer to the instructions
When the kitchen hood is used simultaneously with other appliances that use gas or other fuels, the room must have sufficient ventila-
tion, in accordance with regulations in force.
The active carbon filters in this version are to be removed. Refer to the instructions
Deviation for Germany: when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as appliances that are powered by energy other than electricity, the negative pressure
in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Exploit island hood can be installed in various configurations.
The generic assembly steps apply to all installations; for each case, follow the specific steps provided for the required installa-
tion.

• Measure the distance (H) from cooker to ceiling; decide the height you wish to position the hood at and take the measurement (H1) as illustrated

in Fig. .

• Take the trellis down from the assembly (T+T1) the 8 screws (V2) and put them aside (Fig.

Phase page 5
• Slide the two parts of the trellis (T) and (T1) to the previously established height (H1) (Fig.
• When the height is set (H1), put the 8 screws back in (V2) to secure the two parts of the trellis (T) and (T1) together (Fig.
• Mark 4 drilling points on the ceiling (also identified on page 3), drill (Fig.
(T+T1) to the ceiling by the relative screws (V1) (Fig.
With false ceilings, the trellis (T+T1) must always be bolted to a masonry ceiling: if this is not possible and it is necessary to attach the hood
directly to the false ceiling, said false ceiling must be reinforced or somehow fitted with a solution that can guarantee safely attaching the
hood to it, taking into account the strength of the used materials and the weight of the hood (reported on page 2).
The fixing kit (screws and plugs) supplied with the hood can only be used on masonry walls: should it be necessary to install the
hood onto walls in a different material, assess other fixing systems keeping the wall resistance and weight of the hood in mind (indicated
on page 2).
EXTERNAL EXHAUST HOOD VERSION (SUCTION)
In this version, the kitchen fumes and vapours are conveyed outside through an exhaust pipe.
The air outlet fitting that extends from the upper part of the hood must be connected with the pipe that conducts
the fumes and vapours to an external output.
Do not connect the equipment to discharge pipes of fumes produced from combustion (for example boil-
ers, fireplaces, etc) and you are to comply with the regulations in force regarding external air discharge.
The fumes outlet pipe must have:
- a diameter not less than that of the hood fitting;
- a slight slope downwards (drop) in the horizontal sections to prevent any formation of condensation from flowing
back to the hood;
- the minimum required number of bends;
- minimum required length (long pipes with various bends can reduce suction performance of the hood and trigger
vibrations of the check valve).
If the fumes outlet pipe passes through cold environments such as attics, etc., it is possible that water condensation
forms due to sudden changes in temperature. In this case, you are required to insulate the pipes.
3 /h motor is equipped with a check valve whose function is to prevent external air exchange when the hood is not

on page 5 for assembly.
HOOD VERSION WITH INTERNAL RECIRCULATION (FILTERING)
In this model, air passes through the active carbon filters to be purified and is then recycled into the kitchen envi-
ronment.
Check that the active carbon filters are assembled onto the hood, if not, install them as indicated in the in-
Q
structions on page 9.
If the hood is set up with a filtering version, the check valve must not be assembled: remove it if it is on the air outlet
fitting of the motor (carry out operations described in the instructions
